It's an appliance anyway... it's not like you're salivating for the next KDE Desktop release in the distro upgrade :-)

If it still manages your network the way you want it to, the NAT works and it stops packet tomfoolery, an upgrade is only more likely to annoy you anyway, by changing the UI and ...

More like a simplified gentoo crossed with Arch (the ports are a lot like PKGBUILDs)

Actually I think Arch was originally based on this, at its inception.

One gotcha on this system is that "prt-get sysup" doesn't care what it breaks, there's nothing to tell you that something needs a recompile if it's not also being updated.

The ports move pretty fast (while the guts stay at glibc 2.40 and gcc 14) and Crux ports has LLVM 21.1 already. On this system ...

When I worked night shift in an injection molding plant, this song played most every night at some point in the list (often same songs) on the radio in the maintenance shop/office. It's an exception to that though, I love this song. It brings back bad memories, but it used to cheer me up a bit ...

I tend to hate music that plays on the radio over and over at work. When that song came out I had a boring job at my dad's pharmacy (because I couldn't find a job that summer, in between college courses) and that song was on the radio multiple times every day.

Linux 6.16.4 now

It contains a bunch of block layer fixes, among other things.

A "Haboob" (I knew right away with those phonetics that it was of middle eastern origin)

"To blow". So then, Donald Haboob?

Looks like Mars, on your doorstep.

Firefox 142.0.1 now, with release notes:

Dragging multiple non-adjacent tabs in horizontal tab strip mode now correctly moves them together as a group. (Bug 1982933)

Dragging multiple tabs no longer causes toolbar unresponsiveness or ...

Now the "Ministry of Truth" is going after Wikipedia

Republicans investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias:

Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), chair of the panel’s subcommittee on ...

Intel processors and chipsets have been easier to work with, so I've bought ONLY that (for myself). The processors were more forgiving too, in various ways.

I don't think that's so much the case anymore, so next time it's going to be AMD.

Yeah, Donald is a rather caustic sap, isn't he

I think the first time I heard about manchineel was in a book I read when I was about 10 years old. I think it was a book about a giant alligator, that came out soon after Jaws.

mmm, lumpy mayonnaise with flecks of sputum

With lead acid batteries, not using them for a long period of time kills them. If you left a vehicle for 2 years, you'd probably be buying a new battery for it.

Now that I have 3 units the same in the house, I would risk buying batteries if they fail now, as the other units would take the same ones ...

Of course he did, the worms are eating into his brain. I hope they are rudely mocking him for his demand, and cursing.

The administration also seeks to take the Covid vaccine off the market in the U.S., the evil cunts. RFKunt is working on it.

I swear I replied to this somewhere (not in the networking thread?). What I said was it probably was something wrong with the initramfs image, either that or UUID values somehow changed.

It could be for that specific name you're using that it's invalid. For example, with TLS, mail.mikeserv.com would fail with a certificate error, because the certificate is actually for "server.mikeserv.com", the actual reverse DNS (hostname) of the box. So I use server. instead of the MTX hostname ...

I've been noticing a regression in performance in Sniper Elite 5, using the game's Vulkan renderer option. I use 150% resolution scaling (because of the shitty antialiasing in that engine), so the performance degradation was noticeable.

I tried the DirectX 12 renderer for the first time, and oddly ...

Literally... when I see my parents I start a conversation with "Know what that idiot did today?" and they know who I'm talking about. "That asshole" also works.

(They don't hear about a lot of it because mainstream news kisses his ring)

Wow, it's solely a bunch of ext4 fixes. I guess I won't wait until after I get up.

I heard about that, what a petty thing to do, to DOS a community Linux distro's site. It probably is some butthurt pimple wizard.

It hasn't affected me, since I use mirrors for pacman, and git for my PKGBUILDs

I know, that's disgusting. I'll never buy another piece of Intel hardware again with the U.S. government having controlling interest in the company. There will be exploitation.

I immediately knew something was up with the way he suddenly switched gears on the Intel CEO, but I didn't imagine this.

Microsoft must think they are pretty clever, those controllers are a back end thing, not exposed to the OS. They must be doing something really hinkey.

I'm glad I don't have to worry about Microsoft updates breaking my shit and undoing configuration. My dad's laptop has Windows 11, I should check ...

Donald and his MAGA maggots should take those pills (4 at a time)

That's another thing that has deterred me from lithium battery UPS units, I always buy 1500 VA units and last time I looked at those, I didn't even see one. I typically put a big computer, monitor, modem and router on one and one thing I've learned, is to always be under capacity for electrical shit ...

It gets worse! I heard that yesterday, Trump vowed to ban all new wind and solar projects.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-defends-donald-trumps-biggest-nemesis-windmills/

Trump announced the latest escalation of his long-running war on windmills on Wednesday, writing in a Truth Social ...

Oh yeah, Trump hates Green energy initiatives... it pisses off his wealthy donors who make their money from planet destroying, old technology and sabotaging anything that threatens it.

At least solar doesn't cause cancer, like windmills :roll:

That sounds like a burn now, the power company will ...

It's probably the largest, most dangerous cult in the world, now. Religion is foolish, and in the U.S. it's blatant hypocrisy.

I heard a saying,

Science flies you to the moon
Religion flies you into skyscrapers

Lithium iron phosphate, eh? I've never heard of the brand, but it sounds great on paper. These things are a pain in the ass, every 4 years or so and longer lifespans are welcome.

One of my requirements for a UPS is that it tolerates being on generator power. The first iterations of those Cyberpower ...

It looks like mesa-25.2.1 was tagged today ("stable" now). Good, maybe now I'll find somebody to commiserate with that problem I have with RT and Metro Exodus. It's the only game I have with RT that has a problem, it's improved everywhere else. I have to switcheroo to a mesa build that doesn't have ...

We have a Linux 6.16.2 already, there must have been more stuff queued up. I'm not finished going through this yet, it's a shit tonne of shit. Lots of ext4 fixes, amdgpu
